As Crystal Cavalier, Ed.D. puts it: “That is a generational burden placed on our children, frontline communities, and captive ratepayers.”

One of our EJLF coalition members is sounding the alarm.

organizer Beto Lugo Martinez published this powerful opinion piece calling on Kansas City leaders to listen to residents before raising utility rates to support data centers.

Economic development cannot come at the expense of public health, affordable utilities, or community well-being. Kansas City deserves accountability, transparency, and decisions rooted in environmental justice.

What are ‘cumulative impacts’ and how do they impact you? ‘Cumulative impacts’ is a term that highlights the fact that in some communities - often majority people of color or lower income - harm comes from exposure to multiple pollution sources and issues like lack of investment which make each individual issue worse for public health and more.

Cumulative impacts policies that address these multiple issues are key to achieving real fair, healthy, and safe neighborhoods for everyone. Hear from environmental justice pioneer Charles Lee on why this “holy grail” of policy matters now more than ever.
